Well I just tested, and I'm still not in ketosis. I did weigh less this morning. I weighed in at 120.4 which is way down from yesterday. I guess I'm losing some of the water weight. I said in my first post that last weekend I had the biggest binge of my life, and I wasn't exaggerating.

My son asked for bacon this morning, and that is probably what I should be eating too. I'm still getting over my weekend, and I'm craving sweets. I am eating the last 3 lemon bars. Then I am baking some flax crackers for my amazing fajita dinner with my husband tonight.

Flax Crackers

I am baking a flax cracker recipe that I found on one of my favorite keto blogs, I Breathe... I'm Hungry... I really love the cream cheese pancakes, strawberry mug cake, and brownie mug cake from her blog. I also love the blog All Day I Dream About Food. That is where I found an amazing brownie cheesecake recipe that I love. It's a blessing and a curse. I also like the ruled.me blog. He has a great chocolate chip cookie recipe. The first time I made a batch I forgot to add the swerve, but then I crumbled them up and added it plus some butter and I turned it into a pie crust. Then I filled it with a no-bake peanut butter cheesecake pie. I'll be making both pies again on this blog. They are both very decadent.

Today I made 2 half batches of crackers. The first batch is with rosemary, and the second batch is with oregano. The oregano batch is for dinner tonight. This is the recipe I used:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F) and put parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Add all of the ingredients (except salt) to a medium bowl. Stir until fully combined. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Form your dough into a ball and place onto parchment paper. Cover with wax paper. Roll it out as thin as you dare. I went pretty thin (like a wheat thin thickness) and the thinnest ones of the batch were the best. Use a pizza cutter to cut a grid. Sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10 minutes, remove and flip, bake another 3 minutes. If you want them super crispy, turn the oven off and then put the crackers back in after it’s cooled a bit but is still warm. Leave them in for about an hour and they will continue to dry out until super crispy. Serve with your favorite cheese or dip!

I ate about 100 calories worth of crackers when they came out of the oven. The rosemary ones are good. I like the oregano, but I liked them more the first time I made them when I put basil in too. I'm sure they'll be good with the cheese dip though.

Combine ingredients into bowl or plastic bag and marinade for a few hours. Set out an hour before cooking. Then grill or pan fry the meat.

I grilled the fajitas over medium heat. I flipped them after about 10 minutes then waited another 5 until the meat thermometer read 165. Then I let the meat rest for a few minutes before cutting while I put everything else together.

I cut up one pepper and one onion and sauteed them in a skillet for 10 minutes. I also put together the cheese dip.

Time to feast!

The tortilla is a low carb one from Ole. It had 5 carbs. I'm trying to keep it around 1200 calories and 20 grams of carbs. I did pretty good today. I had 1244 calories and 22 carbs. Along with the fajitas, flax crackers, and cheese dip I had sour cream, pork rinds, and cheddar cheese.
